@Mountainwolf13 You received the permanent PayPal PrePaid card in the mail through USPS? Is this the same physical card you added funds onto at the retailer, or did you give the retailer the temporary PayPal card to reload (you stated in your first post that you were possibly using two cards when you have the permanent card)? PayPal PrePaid card reloads done through Netspend go into the card account (within thirty minutes). These funding reloads don't go into your PayPal account. If you have funds available in your PayPal account, you are able to transfer from PayPal to the PayPal PrePaid card account. The PrePaid card is not directly linked to your PayPal account balance. This card would be added into your PayPal Wallet as a funding source that would show as available for use to fund purchases. If the card account (not your PayPal account) does not have available funds then a transaction would be declined.
